The title pretty much says it… If I type: “say hello” the parent sprite will say “hello”, and if I enter anything that doesn't start with “say ” nothing will happen. Can anyone help me out please?

Share what you have please so we can help more effectively.

I don't know what you mean..

You haven't identified the project. Is it the one you have shared? If so where is the script that you want help with.

Basically if you want help it's easier if we can see what you currently have, especially if the description is unclear.

By the way, you can't stop people remixing. If you share a project people can remix it; that's how Scratch is.

Oh, well the project is shared and is also the only one I have.
The script that I need help with is inside Sprite 11.
In Sprite 11 you'll see an ask command followed up by multiple if commands.
I hope this is enough information, if not, I can tell you more…

I can't see how that fits with your original post. If I hit the z key and type either of the two bits of text you're checking for it does what you've told it to do. What does that have to do with ‘say’?

Ah, I think I understand now.

You want the player to be able to type ‘say level’ and the project will use the ‘say’ block to tell the player the value of the ‘level’ variable. So you want that added as an extra option in sprite 11.

It's not immediately obvious how you'd do that - it may be possible with some work around but I'll need to think about it.

Hi I have a question, I'm making a game with a money variable and I want my sprite to say something or do something when you try to purchase something but you don't have enough money. I have tried doing “If COINS = -20 then say…..” but it has not worked. Do you know how to do it?

This is an old topic. Please don't necropost.

This isn't that hard to fix. Just copy and paste what's in the quotation marks: “​”. Yes, it takes up no space so you can't select it. See, it's impossible, yet possible.

What does necropost mean? I'm only 9 years old i really don't know the answer to this question please someone help me!

I looked up what necropost means. What you said wasn't very nice.

Necroposting is when you post on an old, irrelevant, or solved topic. When posting on topics, if you have checked that no one else has already posted what your asking, it is better to create a new topic than an old topic. To answer your question, use the following code:

...
if <(money) < [put the price here]> then 
say [You don't have enough!]
else
code for buying:: events
end
...

Thank you so much!!! I won't necropost anymore.

What is code for buying?

It doesn't work?

So create your own new topic please and explain the problem there.

say (join [hello ] [(variable)])

it obviously dosen't work with variables, but it does with lists

say (join [hello ] (item (1) of [list v] :: list)

Yes it does work with variables.

say (join [hello ](variable))
